Shadows and Secrets

[Intro] [Verse 1] In a room full of noise, I’m a silent refrain, Echoes of laughter like ghosts in the rain. I paint on a smile, let the mask take its place, But the cracks in the colors reveal the empty space. [Chorus] Oh, shadows and secrets are all that I keep, A heart behind walls, too afraid to speak. But you see through the dust, where the light’s been erased, My truth in your hands—the one friend I can’t replace. [Verse 2] They whisper in circles, I fade to the gray, A ghost in the daylight, just counting the days. But you meet me at midnight where the stars don’t pretend, A sanctuary of silence where the fractures can mend. [Chorus] Oh, shadows and secrets are all that I keep, A heart behind walls, too afraid to speak. But you see through the dust, where the light’s been erased, My truth in your hands—the one friend I can’t replace. [Bridge] Maybe one day I’ll stand where the currents won’t hide me, Unfold every chapter you’ve already seen. Till then, I’m a storm in a jar, softly sealed, But your voice is the anchor that keeps me real. [Chorus] Oh, shadows and secrets are all that I keep, A heart behind walls, too afraid to speak. But you see through the dust, where the light’s been erased, My truth in your hands—the one friend I can’t replace. [Outro]
